ALL of the New Erals moralizing
about holding the individuals who
abuse the use Of intoxicants response
BILE for their own actions, sounds
very beautiful in theory, but the his
tory of the world is barren of salts
factory results from that practice. If
all men were perfect there would be
no necessity for laws or constitutions.
Moral suasion has no weight with a
man who is utterly devoid of moral
principle. 1t is much easier for the
saloons to drag men down than 1t is
for all the moral agencies on earth to
raise them up. You can not clear a
mans system of malaria as long as
you keep him surrounded with an
atmosphere which is dense with mi
asma. 1t is utterly impossible to cor
rect an evil effect without removing
the cause which produces the evil.
Whisky robs men of all power to ex-
ercise the noble instincts of their
manhood it robS them of reason
and Of all power to control their own
actions. "A business that makes
criminals is itself criminal" We
do not claim that prohibition will
prove a panacea for all the
evils of intemperance, but we
believe it will achieve more in
this direction than any other course
that can be pursued. Close up the
saloons and you remove temptation
from thousands of men whose power
of resistance has been destroyed by
drink. Close up the saloons and you
put whisky out of reach of the boy;
and stop the raising of drunkards.

What Justice Harlan SAYS.

WASHINGTON. Sept 21 Mr. Justice Harlan's
attention was called to-day the interview pub
lished this morning with Mr.. Justice Miller in
Chicago, in which he said that any writ of error
in the cases of the Anarchists would ordinarily
be made TO Justice Harlan, Illinois being in the
latter's circuit. Judge Harlan said he had no
information that any application would be made.
He was asked under what circumstances cri m
ipal cases could reach the Supreme Court of the
United States from State courts He said, in
reply, that he supposed any application for
writ of error. to whatever justice it should be
made, would be- under Section 100 r. S., which
provides, among other things, that "a final
Judgment decree in any suit in the
highest court of State in which a
decision in the suit could be had, where any
title, right, privilege immunity is claimed
under the Constitution any State of the
United States, and the decision is against the
title right, privilege or immunity specially set
up claimed by either party under such Con-
stitution. may be re-examined and reversed or
affirmed in tho Supreme Court of the United
States writ of error" He also referred to
Section 7i0. which provides that cases of writ OF
error 20 revise the judgment of the State courts
in any criminal shall have precedence on
the docket of all cases to which the government
is lot a party. except only cases which the court
may in its discretion decide to be of public i'm
portance. He declined TO say anything further
on the subject.
